[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 781089, member: 24098"] Once you finish installing OS X, you'll be prompted to run the Migration Assistant. Do so, then choose the option to migrate documents/data/settings from a Time Machine backup. Also, do note that most UNIX-based operating systems never require a reinstall. This is a bad habit that many who are used to life with Windows routinely do. Since there is no registry with OS X, there is no "Windows rot". A reinstall is not usually ever necessary unless there is a hardware failure, or unless someone has purposely undermined the OS (very difficult to do). [/QUOTE]
